Peach Pies in Cookie Form
Last season, I found myself completely obsessed with peaches. It’s like I just discovered that they existed. I was eating fresh peaches, adding sliced ripe peaches to my overnight oats, and just eating them however and whenever I could.
So, it’s a no-brainer that we have to add peach pie cookies to the pie cookie series. The peachy bites join the party with banana cream pie cookies, French silk pie cookies, key lime cookies, and more. If you think we are running out of pie cookie flavors, not just yet! There are more to come (like caramel apple), so stay tuned.

Peach Sugar Cookies Instructions
Start Your Oven: Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Get your 12-cup muffin tins ready by spraying them with nonstick cooking spray.
Shape the Dough: Take the dough and roll each piece into a ball. Place them in the muffin tin. To shape the dough into a pie crust, use a tart shaper or the back of a spoon. Dip it in flour first to prevent sticking. Gently press the dough into the tin and up the sides. Be careful not to make the bottom too thin. Aim for higher sides to create a nice crust edge.
First Bake: Once all the tins are filled, bake them for 4 minutes. The crust will be partly cooked. Then take them out of the oven.
Add the Peach: Cut the peaches into smaller pieces. This can be easily done with a spoon on a plate. Spoon a bit of peach filling into each cookie crust. Put them back in the oven for another 6-8 minutes. Bake until the cookie cups turn golden brown. Then take them out and let them cool a bit before removing from the tin and placing them on a cooling rack to cool completely.
Make the Icing: In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Keep mixing until it’s smooth. Put this icing into a resealable sandwich bag. Cut a small corner off the bag for easy drizzling. Drizzle the icing over each peach pie cookie.
Ready to Serve: You can serve these yummy cookies right away. Or if you prefer, cover them and keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.

Recipe Tweaks and Swaps
- Different Fruit: If you think peach is the pits, feel free to use apple pie, cherry, or blueberry pie filling. It’s best to visit each one of those recipes themselves if you go this route.
- Homemade Cookie Dough: If you have the time and a good sugar cookie dough recipe, feel free to make the crusts from homemade dough.
- Add Nuts or Spices: Mix in some chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for a dash of extra flavor.
- Toppings: Serve these cookies with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to really do it up. Add a crumble to create peach cobbler cookies. Caramel sauce might be another tasty option. Experiment!
Storage
After the peach pie cookies have cooled, store them in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge.
Recipe Notes and FAQ
Can I make these cookies ahead of time?
Yes, you can bake them a day or two in advance. Just store them properly as mentioned above.
What if I don’t have a tart shaper?
No problem! The back of a spoon works just fine to shape the cookie dough in the muffin tin.
Can I use fresh fruit instead of canned peach pie filling?
Absolutely. Just cook the fresh chopped peaches with a bit of sugar and cornstarch to thicken, then cool before using.
How can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Use gluten-free cookie dough and check that your peach pie filling is gluten-free as well.

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two regular-size (12 cup) muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.
- Roll each sugar cookie into a ball and place into the muffin tin. Using a tart shaper dipped in flour, or the back of a spoon, gently press the dough into the pan and onto the sides. Make sure the bottom isn't too thin and keep the sides higher than the bottom to create an edge on the crust.

Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool before removing the cookie cups from the pan.

- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
